A comparison is being made between the 2018 and 2012 versions of the Volkswagen Golf R. The 2018 model is part of a lineup that includes the Golf GTI and other variants, with some outlets providing reviews and information on the new models. Meanwhile, there are also reports of a class-action lawsuit settlement related to turbo engine repairs in certain Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, but it is unclear how this affects the Golf R models.
